The Throne Is Mine N Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 173

"Must you touch

so much?" Alia asked, swatting away Killian’s hand for what felt like the tenth ti. He kept reaching out to hold her hand or at tis, poke her to rile her up. "Isn’t there sothing you must do today? To get away from bothering ?"

"No. The only ti we have spent together since you arrived is when we prepare for dinner or go to bed. I have planned to spend the rest of the day with you. Until the night of course. I hear your people have the tradition of not letting the bride and groom see each other as it is bad luck. Do you know it is demons who had a hand in that bad luck?" Killian asked.

Weddings made for the perfect playground for demons to have fun. Whether it be revealing a secret child, an affair, or leading the bride to find the groom with her sister, it was always fun.

It wasn’t long before they blad the wedding curse on the bride and groom seeing each other the night before the wedding. Alia’s kind claid the couple was secretly looking for a way to ruin the wedding if they t the night before.

"I am not surprised that demons would be involved. However, I plan to follow that tradition. Gina has a list of things to prepare

for the wedding and I rather you not be there. So of it is quite embarrassing. Are there any traditions you wish for

to follow?" Alia asked, not wanting to be one-sided with only him following her traditions.

"There is only one tradition that involves sex and fire. It is not sothing you can stomach no matter how brave you are. Marriage is not the sa for my kind. We just spend our days with each other without a ceremony or rings. If you like soone, just stay with them until it doesn’t work out. I’ve watched your kind for years and see how marriage binds you forever," said Killian.

"It is the bad side of it," Alia muttered as it wasn’t normal for married couples to separate so they needed to continue living together despite having no feelings there.

"Bad? I found it to be wonderful. Watching two people try not to kill each other every day and running around engaging in sin as they sleep with other sinners. It’s what keeps the underworld so full of damned souls," Killian explained, playing with her hair as he smiled.

"No matter how much I try I cannot get used to the things that make you smile. I’m afraid I will have to turn down whatever tradition it is that involves fire. I don’t want to be burnt. I have a question," Alia shifted her body to face him. "Would you burn at all if you walked into a fire? Your hair at least."

"Do you wish to set

on fire? It shall burn my clothes leaving

stark naked. What a more interesting day this shall be. Shall I do it?" Killian asked, creating a small fire in the palm of his hand.

"How did that question honestly turn to this? Still, this is amazing," Alia comnted on the fire which did nothing to him. "My people should have feared the north more. It is almost ridiculous that demons have chosen to remain a secret rather than take over the world. You are incredible."

Killian enjoyed the complint from Alia’s mouth even if it was sort of directed at all demons. He would still take it for himself. "Our realm is the underworld. The devil doesn’t care to take over this world when it is full of enough sins. And there are other creatures stronger than your kind that would make taking over a hassle. Do you desire to rule the entire world?"

"No. That would be too much for

to bear. It is already hard enough to get your people to like . The entire world would break . Are you offering

the world after saying it is sothing you cannot do?" She probed.

"I didn’t say I cannot do it, princess. I said it is a hassle," he reminded her of the word he used less than a couple of seconds ago. "Since you do not want it, there is no need to worry about it. We already have our goals we shall soon accomplish. You will finally have the throne you wanted even if it is not in your kingdom."

"Your goal is to have children to carry on your lineage. It is quite simple for a man like yourself. Is there sothing else to this goal that I do not know of? You can want any other thing in this world but it is children you desire? You know they can be annoying at tis, right?" Alia joked.

"I do not want my kind to end with . I am a one-of-a-kind demon and I must admit, I have envied seeing your kind create new life. Spreading their seed all around even if the generations to follow ended up doing nothing. I do not know when I will die but before that, I will continue my bloodline. I have picked a good woman with a personality to make my children be feared more."

"I can’t argue with that. I haven’t thought of children yet but I always knew I would have children who will do great things. As their mother, I shall lead them on the right path. You had a good eye, Killian. I an for picking . Whatever you wish for your children to achieve, my na will be rembered as their ancestor. It is ti we leave this room," Alia stood up.

"What if I want my children to be the ones to set this world on fire? You will be rembered as the mother of destroyers. Are you fine with that?" Killian questioned, curious about how she would respond to this.

Alia smiled, not concerned by what was said. "That will never happen. My children will not go down a path of evil even though they will be part demons. Their mother will not allow it. You might be a powerful demon but there is nothing like a mother’s wrath which all children fear."

Alia continued to say, "You like my kind too much to want to destroy this world. I have a feeling that is why you have not stepped down as king and let Agramon take over. You cannot fool , king of the north."

Killian stood up to follow Alia. "It seems that I cannot," he replied.

"I feel tired but the day is far from over. Out of all those who ca, I only managed to find three people who will be helpful in the coming days. I expected it to be more but they ca here trying to impress you, not . Have you heard that Jahi has left the castle? Do you mind having soone watch her?" Alia did not trust that Jahi would suddenly stop trying to ddle in the relationship she had with Cyrus and kill her.

Killian placed his hands behind his back as he walked to Alia. "She had a spy on her from the mont she arrived. Just like your guard and maid do."

Alia understood Jahi having a spy but not Cyrus and Gina who she trusted more than Killian. She knew them far longer than Killian for the trust she had in them to be so much more. "Do I have a spy?" She asked out of curiosity. She was still a Blackwell at the end of the day.

"You do. A handso fellow I should say," Killian grinned.

Alia rolled her eyes. "Why does everyone else get a stranger but I am stuck with you? Why are you spying on

of all people? Just like you did when I spoke with Agramon earlier? Are you suspicious that I intend to follow through with the plan to kill you?"

"No, I suppose spying on you was the wrong word. I am rely keeping an eye on you. I am sure once you have enough people on your side, you will have them watching

and the people around

like Alastor. I am keeping an eye on you so you cannot find yourself in trouble and hide it from ," Killian explained his actions. "I do trust you but we can never be too careful."

"I am not upset if you were to watch

because you were suspicious. You did overhear soone wanting to use

to kill you. I won’t lie that there is one thing I am suspicious of when it cos to you and I would have had soone find out about it but I will ask you. What was Agramon trying to expose about you coming to this world? Do not say it is nothing," Alia said, desiring only the truth at this mont.

"He thinks I have done sothing wrong and this is the punishnt the devil gave to . It is hardly the truth. I ca up here on my own accord," Killian lied.
